Fear of abandonment is talked about in borderline and dependent PDs, but not as much in AvPD. How does fearing abandonment contribute to AvPD? Why might avoidants (and others) fear it so much? The end segment includes a bit on which avoidant criteria apply to me at the moment, and a mic test for the Blue Yeti Nano. New year, new podcast name, new logo, and a new mic! Wish you all the best for a lovely and peaceful 2020.
